GitHub is good enough to people keep using it. With the exception of the AI-induced downtimes last month, other platforms have as many problems as GH does, but GH gets the bad rep because it’s the one everyone uses and has an opinion about. Despite old problems that still annoy me, they actually have an impressive and unmatched set of features too, so one can’t move away without some compromise. For the most part, you might find Forgejo/Codeberg and others to meet your needs, but it’s going to take a long time to match GitHub’s maturity in some things like code search.
